Paramida made her name as an integral part of the new Berlin school of DJs embracing a more expansive sound, a charismatic and eclectic idealism beyond the steady, straight-forward pulse of house and techno. Following five years at the city’s
diverse OYE Records store, and alongside an international schedule of DJing, she has spent the previous five crafting her
Love On The Rocks label in that same generous spirit.
Now, with half a decade passed, she has called upon many of the label’s previous associates, alongside some new faces, to

new wave and acid, with the shared goal of sheer dancefloor bliss.
“Every record I put out felt like a message I'm sending out into the universe”, explains Paramida. “And everyone featured on
this compilation is someone I deeply connect with, even though it's a pretty unexpected mix of artists. Here’s to the next five
